A serious question: in the bleachers, Marge asks how many times Homer has done stupid stunts. Lisa replies, "It's 300, Mom." To which Marge replies, "I could've sworn it was 302." And Lisa shushes her.

There have been 302 episodes (303 if you count the one after the 300th. episode) total, but 2 of those were special episodes that weren't counted as part of the 300 episode total. So it was an inside joke based on that.

About the 300th ep, 2 words: Great Gazoo. Man did this episode just lay there and die IMO, just unfunny after unfunny; even the chalkboard and couch gags were bleah. The series really started sucking at season 9 for me, the writing has gone way down hill and fallen into "cheap cartoon" territory, it's not the Simpsons anymore.

The 301st ep though was somewhat funny, maybe half of it. Nothing really stands out for me and certainly it wasn't memorable, there was plenty I didn't love, but at least it stayed away from the pitfalls of most recent eps and had some in-character writing for Homer and Lisa. And it was nice to see Barney back on the sauce.
